Which enforces the fact that citizens should be able to arm themselves rather than depend on the police for protection.

Because a rank amateur civilian with a difficult to access concealed weapon would be better able to defend himself against an armed assailant than a police officer with an easily-accessed holstered firearm who is trained in the use of special weapons and tactics?

Thanks to ObamaCare, my health insurance premiums dropped 30% and I now have a plan that covers routine care! Thank God for ObamaCare!

so by that logic what should someone with 25+ years of martial arts and combat weapons training be able to do and carry?

Should off duty or x military be allowed to carry weapons since their weapons training normally far outranks a police officer?

Lol at difficult to access concealed weapon.....

What makes it "difficult" to access?

You must have a pretty impressive police force to think they can do much of anything better than most people because around here I have been less than impressed with any I have come in contact with.

In fact that's a complaint I hear pretty regularly but I'm sure you've never heard of under qualified incompetent police right?

sometimes the fact that a regular person has a weapon in itself is an advantage - if a gunner spots a police officer, they know that the officer should be armed, and will either try to take them out or take cover - if the shooter sees a mob of 20+ people, what are the chances that they will notice a person in that mob drawing a weapon from their purse/vest/whatever?

Almost every time, unless the cop is right there.

If I appear to be ignoring your posts, it's probably because you are on my ignore list.

When that officer is not in the vicinity and the civilian is, hell yeah! Especially if there's multiple armed civilians.

I believe he was pointing out the hypocrisy of elite types traveling with armed security proclaiming that the average citizen doesn't have the right to bear arms to protect themselves.

Correct!

If I had a $100 million USD in my bank, libs could go for all the guns in the world for all I care.

NOTE: I would care since I'd fight for liberty and classic liberalism. However, I'd certainly side for the free ownership of guns. At the end of the day though, gun control wouldn't pertain to me since I'd likely have a Gulfstream 650, and with that kind of money, laws don't pertain to me.
